Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters of stayability (STAY) at different calvings using a single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP) approach, comparing Gaussian-linear and threshold models in Italian Charolais and Limousine beef cattle. It also examined the genetic relationship between STAY and other traits to identify potential indicators of longevity and assessed the impact of...
